tSnowflakeBulkExec Standard properties - 7.2

Select a type of database from the list and click Apply.

Property Type

Select the way the connection details will be set.

• Built-In: The connection details will be set locally for this component. You need to specify the values for all related connection properties manually.

• Repository: The connection details stored centrally in Repository > Metadata will be reused by this component. You need to click the [...] button next to it and in the pop-up Repository Content dialog box, select the connection details to be reused, and all related connection properties will be automatically filled in.

This property is available when Use this Component is selected from the Connection Component drop-down list.

Connection Component

Select the component that opens the database connection to be reused by this component.

Account

In the Account field, enter, in double quotation marks, the account name that has been assigned to you by Snowflake.

This field is available only when Use this Component is selected from the Connection Component drop-down list.

Select an AWS region or an Azure region from the Snowflake Region drop-down list.

This field is available only when Use this Component is selected from the Connection Component drop-down list and the Use Custom Snowflake Region option is not selected in the Advanced settings view.

User Id and Password

Enter, in double quotation marks, your authentication information to log in Snowflake.

• In the User ID field, enter, in double quotation marks, your login name that has been defined in Snowflake using the LOGIN_NAME parameter of Snowflake. For details, ask the administrator of your Snowflake system.

• To enter the password, click the [...] button next to the password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes and click OK to save the settings.

This field is available only when Use this Component is selected from the Connection Component drop-down list.

Warehouse

Enter, in double quotation marks, the name of the Snowflake warehouse to be used. This name is case-sensitive and is normally upper case in Snowflake.

This field is available only when Use this Component is selected from the Connection Component drop-down list.

Enter, within double quotation marks, the name of the database schema to be used. This name is case-sensitive and is normally upper case in Snowflake.

Database

Enter, in double quotation marks, the name of the Snowflake database to be used. This name is case-sensitive and is normally upper case in Snowflake.

This field is available only when Use this Component is selected from the Connection Component drop-down list.

Table

Click the [...] button and in the displayed wizard, select the Snowflake table to be used.

To load the data into a new table, select Use custom object in the wizard and enter the name of the new table in Object Name field.

Schema and Edit Schema

A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields (columns) to be processed and passed on to the next component. When you create a Spark Job, avoid the reserved word line when naming the fields.

Built-In: You create and store the schema locally for this component only.

Repository: You have already created the schema and stored it in the Repository. You can reuse it in various projects and Job designs.

If the Snowflake data type to be handled is VARIANT, OBJECT or ARRAY, while defining the schema in the component, select String for the corresponding data in the Type column of the schema editor wizard.

Click Edit schema to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available:

• View schema: choose this option to view the schema only.

• Change to built-in property: choose this option to change the schema to Built-in for local changes.

• Update repository connection: choose this option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether to propagate the changes to all the Jobs upon completion. If you just want to propagate the changes to the current Job, you can select No upon completion and choose this schema metadata again in the Repository Content window.

Note that if the input value of any non-nullable primitive field is null, the row of data including that field will be rejected.

This component offers the advantage of the dynamic schema feature. This allows you to retrieve unknown columns from source files or to copy batches of columns from a source without mapping each column individually. For further information about dynamic schemas, see Talend Studio User Guide.

This dynamic schema feature is designed for the purpose of retrieving unknown columns of a table and is recommended to be used for this purpose only; it is not recommended for the use of creating tables.

Select the action to be carried out to the table.

• NONE: Leave the table as is.
• DROP_CREATE: Remove the table and create it again.
• CREATE: Create a new table.
• CREATE_IF_NOT_EXISTS: Create the table if it does not exist.
• DROP_IF_EXISTS_AND_CREATE: Remove the table if it already exists and create again.
• CLEAR: Remove all the data records in the table.
• TRUNCATE: Remove all the rows in the table. This action releases the space occupied by the table.

Select the operation you want to perform to the incoming data and data records in the Snowflake database table. You can insert, delete, update or merge data in the Snowflake table. This option assumes that the Snowflake table specified in Table field already exists.

• INSERT: Insert new records in the Snowflake table.
• UPDATE: Update existing records in the Snowflake table.
• UPSERT: Create new records and update existing records. In the Upsert Key Column field displayed, you need to specify the key column to be used as the join key for the upsert operation.
• DELETE: Remove records from the Snowflake table.
